    <p>This article shows how to add a single external tool link so that it appears in the left navigation menu of an individual site. You may use this process to create individual site navigation links to regular LTI tools, or stealthed (i.e. hidden or restricted access) LTI tools. For information about deploying stealthed tools to multiple sites at once, please see <a href="content.hlp?docId=howdoiaddastealthedltitooltositesasanadmin">How do I add a Stealthed LTI tool to one or more sites?</a> </p>
